I hiked the Lower Montauk on surrounding streets in 1977 and 1997 and accessed the Richmond Hill station. Your video has the facts right. You knew where the stairs from street to station were. The line was elevated in 1923, eliminating the grade crossing. Post card views of the pre-1923 station show a nice station building at street level that could not stay.
Closed in 1998. I took trains on this branch for a little while. Now it is used by the NY&Atlantic Railway for freight operations. This line is not abandoned
Totally off subject but was trying to see how I could give you a topic.I was thinking about HyperLoop which I think just wouldn't work but being optimistic if you could make a Hyperloop in New York City that "looped" to other stations.What stations would the Hyperloop go to. Example Jamaica Station/Parson Blvd to Stillwell Ave to Atlantic Ave to Fulton Center to 34th St to Yankee Stadium to City Field back to Jamaica Center for that "loop"

The station is abandoned but you're definitely right, it's in use! Nice to know you took trains on the branch.
I lived 8 blocks from the station at 126th street and Jamaica Ave. at 87_ 11 house first floor with my family in 1964.

I’ll consider a video for this!
They need to bring this station back my old neighborhood of richmond hill of queens nyc
I'm fascinated by the 76th Street station on the IND Fulton Street Line, could you go there? I wonder if it actually exists.
im not sure if it does exist tbh it could be like the underbelly project.
Reopen it!
Can I ask where did you park?
I got there by train
@@MTAProdigy what street did you walk on?
@@MTAProdigy I was there today. Wish I did the video of the bottom
I walked on Babbage st. The station can be visibly seen by stopping between Myrtle & Jamaica aves
@@MTAProdigy I’ll have to got back there next year
Nice video.The Lower Montauk should be reopened. We can never have too much transit.
